Date: 2008-06-18 05:52 am (UTC)A California state legislator was on board that train. When she got home, she started banging the drum for California to finally get off the stick and start building a high speed system of our own here in California.
You, of course, experienced decent rail transport in Japan. I'm reminded of the time my wife and I boarded a train at Hakata and rode up to the next stop to transfer to a local train heading for the Kyushu Railway Museum. This is roughly equivalent of boarding a train in Seattle heading south to Olympia or from Portland heading for Salem. It took fifteen minutes.
